intense enigma

They would do well to get his goggles for cut price

Though I like us to whip them at every opportunity, I much prefer if we can hammer them in the league and hope they don't finish in the top four.

Shiit...now that I thought of it....if we would've won at at least 2 away games (Sheffield Utd and Boro) and beaten Portsmouth and Blackburn at home.....the table would be bloody interesting right now.

Precisely why i said he could and never gave the slightest hint that he's better right now. I guess its the anticipation from what we've seen of him so far. Still a lot of areas to improve (especially passing) i agree but I dont see why he can't be at least as good as Vieira. The fecker is a monster and can only see him get better. And oh, I dont see Rafa selling him anytime soon, if at all.

Finally someone i can bond with Agree with the above. Momo is on the verge of becoming a world class player and selling him would be absolutely mental. He could be twice the player Vieria ever was in a couple of years from now.

Exceptional judge of talent is Fat Sam

That turn to leave Gentile for dead before setting up Socrates in Spain 82 is one of the best i've seen...even more so since Gentile is one crazy b@astard.

They're playing two in goal?

Good man good man

It's not too late though...well, thats how i feel anyway

My take: We get Celtic The mancs to get Barca and Rotten Roman's outfit gets Real Madrid

It sounds more serious than i imagined

Imo, i dont think they're similiar type of players so difficult to compare.

And Cahill to have his @rse savaged despite being injured

and a good kicking

WOW...never knew that.....bolt from the blue this

Weaknesses exist, yes, but in the worst of times, why the need to rub it in when he can be a little more subtle or encouraging...ala Morientes

Kromkamp rounds on 'ugly' Reds Liverpool misfit Jan Kromkamp has accused his former team of being ugly. Kromkamp, who found a home at PSV Eindhoven after being shown the exit door by Rafa Benitez, claims the Eredivisie side have the measure of their opposition ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash. With The Reds' form having taken a downturn this season, Kromkamp claims the team's failings have been exposed. Chief among them according to Kromkamp is Benitez's over-reliance on long balls to Peter Crouch. "We know how to get at Liverpool. They have plenty of weaknesses," said Kromkamp. "They often revert to kicking long ugly balls up to Peter Crouch. The manager's tactics change as soon as you frustrate his players and that is what we will be aiming to do on Wednesday. "They have weaknesses in several places, especially in the gap between defence and midfield, and also at centre back. "In one-on-ones, the two in the middle of defence are very good, but they cannot contribute to Liverpool's build up play. So we will focus on that. "If you block them from deep they soon lose their rhythm and start playing those long balls up to Crouch." Krommy

We're nearing kick-off.....i can feel it in me liquids that we're going to annihilate Boro.

Strong fecker that Luisao. Has a good header on him as well from set pieces like the goal against the Swiss.

If the Mancs can win stuff with utter shoite like Gary Neville.....then i think we are fine with Riise

Don't know if anyone posted this but the Bordeaux coach gives us quite a bit of credit in his post match comments Bordeaux boss Ricardo Gomes conceded that his side's chances of qualifying now are slim. He said: 'We did things really well for long spells, but we just could not get through Liverpool's defence. 'Our task has become very, very difficult. A hard task, but it is not totally over because football can change. But at this stage we know how tough it will be to qualify. 'We played well, certainly better than against PSV, but the last 20 metres is tough, Liverpool took advantage of our failure to cause them problems and get in shots. They scored when it mattered. 'It is difficult to get at Liverpool, a difficult team to cause problems against and hard to destabilise their defence despite the amount of pressure we had and the crosses we got into their box.' We just could not get through Liverpool's defence

You missed out Kev's standing in the 'doom and gloom' top five

Maybe because Rafa is the best manager in English football around. Rafa is probably in the top five managers in the world. Rafa is definately in the top five managers in Europe. As for England, i shall stop here
